During its early days, the Whig Party allied with the Liberal-Conservative Party, often voting alongside it, however strongly advocating for Liberty City's regional currency, the Denarius. The liberal-conservatives originally opposed the denarius, however accepted to make it legal tender in exchange for confidence and supply, an arrangement that stayed in place until the 5th Senate.
Neo-Laborite Alliance (July 2024)
Following Liberal-Conservative talks of ending the legal tender status of the Denarius, the Whigs decided to end their alliance with them and got into a coalition with New Farun Labor. This era was uneventful, with the whig senator always voting in line with their coalition partner, with their only demand as always being the continuation of the denarius' legal tender status.
Demise
